The Main Event
Experience an unforgettable journey through London’s most iconic landmarks with a Royal London tour and afternoon tea at The Rubens.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive around Parliament Square, where you'll admire the stunning Westminster Abbey, famously known as the wedding venue of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Next, you head to St James' Park and Buckingham Palace to experience the vibrant Changing of the Guard ceremony. Accompanied by the melodies of a military band, watch The King’s Foot Guard march to Buckingham Palace for the ceremonial guard change.
You will then head to The Rubens at the Palace Hotel, a luxurious 5-star venue located just a stone's throw from the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. Unwind and savour traditional afternoon tea in the opulent Palace Lounge.
As you dine on a selection of sumptuous sandwiches, freshly made pastries, and traditional scones with clotted cream and fruit preserve, you can watch the comings and goings of the royal carriages.
